| Store We hXed as
one of its principles that every arti-
Gle we sold could be returned in
good order within a specified time,
and, like a bank check. draw the
money back.
The only general exception was
for short period preceding and fol-
lowing the holidays.
In ten years We have learned a
| good deal, and the crudeness of the
new system Of retail business is
wearing away.
Studying to do better and better
by our customers and improving all
over the Store we have come to feel
that we want the one system of re-
turn of goods and return Of money
TO prevail at all times of the year.
Therefore we now announce
that tire purchases to1, the hoh-
days 7,qH be Just as reta0uadAe as
at any ohie1 nue Of tile rear, and
that hereafter fran oae gears
end to another there shaN be 6ut
enc oule ,remulng exchanges.
There is one Store in Philadelphia
where buyers are absolutely safe all
the time and sure in their purchases
all the year round.
These are the four foundations of
this business:
Quality and price of everything
guaranteed.
mo more than proper value for
anything, but less than the usual
price for many things.
3--All the year round almost every
thing mot toothbrushes, mat
tresses a I'd few like things)
subject to return within ten days
if in proper order for refund OF
money.
A vast and nearly perfect stock
of best makes of merchandise.
To keep up the full operation OF
our rules of exchange and refund Of
money during these extra days we
shall employ additional assistants
and open new desks.
As all hours Of the day seem to
be equally busy we cannot justly ask
customers to come at any special
times; but at all hours we will dc
our utmost to faithfully serve them
! We are next door to the suburban
towns by Broad Street Station, three
minutes distant.
| Store will be ready for business
rather earlier than usual for the next
few days. We shall close not earlier
than 6.3o P. M. until Friday evening
On Saturday andthroughout next
week we shall keep open in the
evenings until ten o'clock to accom-,
modate many who are employed all
day and must make their purchases
at night.
Seven nights of 81 hours each
are not many in whole year for oul
clerks to work, especially when they
take turns in relieving each other
alternate nights so far as they choose
and'we arc able to arrange for reliefs
The number Of employees on the
payroll this day December -
1879 at this one Store is ABS.
Philadelphia is the only city in the
world that has such a place as this,
so far as we know.
We began last January to get
ready for this Christmas business.
Clearing off few tables here anc
a dozen feet or yards of Store coun-
ter there and getting lot of Holi
day Goods consigned that are al
that's left" Of an importers stock is
not our idea Of proper service for
ourtrusting and expecting customers
1t is a kind Of high art to catch,
by contact with the people, the needs
Of the Christmas times and carry
the Christmas thoughts to the keen
witted soul; who invent and contrivt
and conjure and create for our Holt
day joy.
Some of our best men, from jan
uary to December, never take their
thoughts from the Christmas prepar-
ing.
There arc fashions in Toilet Goods
and Toys, Vienna wares and Cut
